Design Trends We Loved in 2024 (That Will Still Shine in 2025!)

As we enter a new year, home design trends only get better—but that doesn't mean last year's best-loved elements are fading away. To the contrary, many of 2024's most popular design features remain new, versatile, and rich with possibilities for 2025.

Pantone's Color of the Year, Greenery, will be all over interiors, infusing our homes with nature-inspired energy. Other trends of 2024 that are breaking out as standalone stars—such as mixed patterns, textured walls, and metallic accents—are standing the test of time.

One thing that makes this beauty of a trend is that it doesn't necessarily require a full home renovation for you to keep up with styles. Rather than completely revamp your home, try giving your space a renewed look with simple updates. It's how you can take 2024's top design trends into the year ahead.

1. Textured Wallpaper: Depth & Dimension

Textured wallpaper was one of the major trends in 2024, with so much reason-the visual focus, depth, and character that textured wall coverings add quite outshine their flat counterparts, which merely give you the texture of bricked, wooden, or stone walls without the undue expense and commitment for even simple masonry.

• Grasscloth-textured wallpaper, with its acceptance of an organic interpretation of texture, enriches the demure and relaxed ambience of the interior with credentials of warmth.

• Faux finishes, such as weathered wood or concrete, provided urban lofts and contemporary houses with an industrial look.

• 3D wallpapers produced dramatic feature walls, ideal for creating drama in living rooms or bedrooms.

Why It Still Works in 2025:

Textured wallpaper is a far-from-whimsical option-it's an element to introduce character into the room. Whether your vibe is more down-to-earth or bold and dramatic, this trend is an amazing way to enhance your decor theme.

2. Bold Colors & Unique Patterns: Express Yourself

2024 was the year of bold color and fearless patterns. With rich jewel tones and bright geometric prints, homeowners moved away from cautious neutrals and played with personality-driven designs.

• Pantone's Greenery (the 2025 Color of the Year) actually pairs well with much of 2024's statement colors, such as deep blues, warm terracottas, and dark emeralds.

• Maximalist prints, including oversized flowers and complex damasks, made a dramatic return.

• Geometric motifs (such as the one illustrated above) added a graphic, modern kick to interiors.

Why It Still Works in 2025:

Color and pattern are enduring means of adding energy to a room. Rather than pursuing temporary trends, stick with colors and prints that appeal to you. A bold accent wall or a combination of patterned throw pillows can quickly update a room without a complete redo.

3. Chic Metallic Accents: Glamorous Touches

Metals dominated in 2024, from rose gold to brushed brass and matte black finishes. These accents provided a dash of luxury and contrast to both contemporary and traditional rooms.

• Blended metals were a big trend, shattering the former rule of using one finish only.

• Metallic wallpapers (such as York's Mixed Metals collection) added glittering sophistication to feature walls.

• Decor in high contrast, i.e., black-and-gold or copper-and-marble combinations, generated striking visual effects.

Why It Still Works in 2025:

Metallics are wildly versatile uncle, glam, or minimalist, depending on your application. Rose gold keeps going up in popularity, while antique brass and brushed nickel stay classic. A few strategically placed metallic accents (lighting, frames, or hardware) will update a space in an instant.

4. Vintage & Damask Revival: Classic Meets Contemporary

The design environment of 2024 was heavily influenced by nostalgia, as damask prints, old motifs, and Baroque influences made a chic comeback. 

• Updated damask wallpapers (like Dressed Up Damask from York) blended traditional elegance with contemporary color palettes. 

• Velvet furniture and tufted sofas introduced classic elegance into contemporary living rooms. 

• Faux-aged finishes, such as distressed wood and patina metals, contributed personality to decor.

Why It Still Works in 2025:

Vintage looks never really go out of style—they simply get redone. If you're a fan of retro-inspired decorating, 2025 is the year to combine antique details with sophisticated, modern accents for an even look.

How to Refresh Your Space Without a Full Redo

You don't have to swap out all your decor to remain current. Here are some simple ways to add these 2024 staples to your 2025 home:

• Install a textured wallpaper accent wall for instant depth.

• Introduce bold colors through throw pillows, rugs, or artwork. 

• Swap out hardware or light fixtures for metallic updates. 

• Layer patterns in small doses (e.g., a geometric rug with floral curtains). 

• Mix vintage and modern pieces for a curated, timeless feel.
